Default Configuration

The application creates a default key automatically.

Command Mode

Global Configuration mode

User Guidelines

DSA keys are generated in pairs - one public DSA key and one private DSA

key.
If the device already has DSA keys default or user defined, a warning is

displayed with a prompt to replace the existing keys with new keys.
Erasing the startup configuration or returning to factory defaults

automatically deletes the default keys and they are recreated during device

initialization.
This command is not saved in the Running configuration file. However, the

keys generated by this command are saved in a private configuration (which is

never displayed to the user or backed up to another device).
See Keys and Certificates for information on how to display and copy this key

pair.

Example

The following example generates a DSA key pair.

console(config)# crypto key generate dsa

The SSH service is generating a private DSA key.

This may take a few minutes, depending on the key size.
